Odaily Odaily Planet Daily reports that a CertiK report shows 34 "wrench attacks" (offline violence or coercion to obtain crypto assets) occurred globally in the first four months of 2026, a 41% year-on-year increase, with cumulative losses of approximately $101 million.
The report indicates that attack patterns are shifting towards being "data-driven," involving the pre-collection of victim information and including their family members and other "proxy targets" within the scope of threats to apply pressure.
Regionally, Europe accounts for 82% of incidents, with France being the most concentrated. Industry insiders believe such attacks have become a significant security risk for crypto asset holders.
